101-year-old man survives Spanish Flu, World War II and COVID-19
Milton Zaczek survived the Spanish Flu pandemic, in addition to COVID-19.
PHOENIX - It s safe to say 101-year-old Milton Zaczek of Prescott has lived through more than most.
Zaczek can still remember the gunfire in World War II. One of my co-soldiers next to me was shot in the leg, so I went down and dragged him out of the line of fire, said Zaczek.
He can still remember being a young boy born shortly after the Spanish Flu pandemic started. I was very sick, and my brother came home from work and my mother told him I had a very high fever, said Zaczek.
